We begin this news in malaysia with the former Prime Minister najib razak has been sentenced to 12 years in prison after being found guilty of corruption he wont go straight to jail though and says hes appealing this verdict is from the 1st of 5 trials not she was facing linked to the one n. D. P. Scandal he launched this state fund when he was Prime Minister in 2009 we are always positive we believe. You know innocence we believe that. We have a strong case. But of course we have to convince the judges and we would do our best. Chef we would continue to lead a team and he is very determined. To get the outcome that we believe is only right for us. Well this case centered on the transfer of nearly 10000000. 00 into najib personal accounts hes been convicted of an abuse of power criminal breach of trust and Money Laundering official seized a yacht as well as diamonds jets and other luxury goods jury in the investigation the jeeps alleged to have stolen around 1000000000. 00 from the sound prosecutors of level 42. 00 charges against him Lawrence Louis joins us live from kuala lumpur so a dramatic day in court today in Kuala Lumpur Florence just take us through what happened. Thats right now as you mentioned this was a case that involved the transfer of 10000000. 00 into nuggets personal Bank Accounts from a company known as s. R. C. International this is a former Subsidiary Company of one n. D. P. And the judge in reaching his verdict rejected not chips argument that he had been tricked by finances including one who goes by the name of joe lo hes a malaysian fugitive now on the run and in hiding somewhere who is regarded by investigators as the mastermind in the question scandal of one m. T. B. And the judge also described the argument the defense argument that not just was led to believe that the 10000000. 00 in his personal bank account was part of a donation from saudi arabia as an elaborate but weak as an elaborate but weak argument now and he sentenced the hes sentenced to 12 years maximum of 12 years in prison and also 10 years in prison for the other charges that the sentences are due to run concurrently but as you mentioned not just will not have to go straight to prison because that the judge has also allowed a did lay in carrying out of the sentencing in terms of the Legal Process that has yet to go through and also his wife what do we think will happen next. Well with regards to this case in this particular case now the appeals process can take years there is a 2 tier appeal process in the lake so he will now hell have to appeal to the court of appeal once he is exhausted that if hes not happy with the body he still going to appeal to the highest court in the land the federal court but then there are also these other cases against him there are at least 2 other trials against him and his wife is also facing corruption charges so this is going to be a long drawn out Legal Process against and his wife now and in the last couple of months that has been some discontent with the high profile cases that have been dropped or settled one case involved stepson and another involved a political ally so these cases will be looked at very closely and the people be scrutinizing the results and also just how the how the cases are being conducted ok florence thank you very much for absolutely our correspondent there in. To europe germans are being warned by their government not to travel to parts of spain where there are high numbers of corona virus infections germany which is itself dealing with a steady rise in cases also wants to make over 1000. 00 tests mandatory for travelers returning from high risk areas the u. K. Has already imposed a quarantine on anyone returning from spain a move the Spanish Government says is disproportionate infections are rising fast in areas including barcelona but resorts such as benidorm on the east coast have reported far fewer new cases as the motor is being run the more we are at this moment talking to the british authorities to try to make them reconsider a measure that in our view is unsuitable particularly if we keep the epidemiological data of the spanish territory and in particular certain tourist destinations like for example the canary in the bay lyric islands the villain sea and dilute sea in regions which i insist have a total accumulated level of virus that is lower than whats being registered in the u. K. In epidemiological terms it is safer to be in these regions than in the u. K. You know ok well speak more about that shortly with marta herero in barcelona 1st to berlin and our correspondent there dominic cane dom welcome back to the news hour take us through these restrictions just on bail this time yesterday i guess by the german government. Well the restrictions that were imposed all the imposition of these restrictions that from yesterday refers to the risk areas and the requirement for all passengers returning from those risk areas will now be required to take a 1000 test when they return and thats going to come into force next week at some point next week peter the Interesting Development insofar as today is concerned is now the germinal thora hes suggesting very strongly to their population that 3 particular areas in spain that are gone catalonia and navarro are such high risk areas that they are advising germans not to travel there and it fits in as you were saying to the the mood music coming from this Relevant Ministry the Health Ministry over the course of the last 48 hours or so about the concern they have of the return of growth of a 2nd wave of coronavirus theyve always said theyre following the science they will follow the science and do what it dictates as it were and so thats how you need to see what. Health minister has been announcing over the course of the last couple of days but how are the numbers unpacking anyway when it comes to infections in germany to start with well there again there is concern about particular parts of the country where there have been flare ups over the course of the last month or so its been in Meat Processing areas and so today the head of the robert cock institute which is the Relevant Agency empowered to collate all the details the true relates to coronavirus in terms of the our number thats reproduction number the numbers of infections the number of fatalities that sort of thing well the man concerned over the course of the last few months during the pandemic hes become a regular face for people to be monitoring what he has had to say and today he has some troubling thoughts about the potential for a 2nd wave of corona this is what hes had to say. You know its no give us a trying to score one of you with the latest results so that people consider the coronavirus to be a low risk then before also the acceptance of measures such as social distancing has decreased at this point i would once again like to be very clear we ourselves are largely responsible for determining how the disease will develop in germany please help yourselves all of you continue to respect the rules you. The other thing to point out here peter is the political aspect to whats going on right now yesterday we heard from the bavarian Prime Minister a leading conservative in german politics marcus hes the man who many people suggest might well be a prime candidate for the conservative side of politics going into next years general election a potential chancellor candidate well yes that he was saying was so concerned about the possibility of a 2nd wave that he wanted to have mandatory testing of coronavirus in germany well that is now happening because of mr shand the Health Minister but he also said that i also said that he was very worried about the potential for lots of mini super spreading then you see referred to a particular place in austria the neighboring country to his state in germany and said he doesnt want to see that happening again which explains why he wanted to have these stringent restrictions imposed and hes getting his way and it all fits into that mood music about the concern rising in this country governmental level about the potential of coronavirus coming back in a 2nd wave ok don many thanks dominic an upper limb correspondent there reporting live for the news hour ok now we go to barcelona and mater whos there for us this hour mark we were talking a little earlier about rebranding spain trying to encourage people to go back but thats the best a very big hill for people involved in the Tourism Industry there to claim surely no. Yes its a big big challenge for the Spanish Government to recover the confidence of all the partners specially of the 150. 00 countries including saudi arabia china the us particularly germany the u. K. And france we told the main the main nationalities of the tourists the Foreign Tourists the tourists that visit spain every year so they have to recover the confidence from all these partners and they have to rebrand and they have to to to keep clear that spain is a safe this nation needs to all the over 300 clusters are still active under control but the situation to the limits in many regions in spain have joined cuts alone yeah we were very tough measures like the mandatory use of mass joint all of a cut the union making mandatory the use of mass to avoiding gatherings of over 10 people in public and private places and closing bars and restaurants at 130 at night so they want to to at least go in t. That in september because they think that the Summer Season theyve lost the Summer Season they want to gain these passport off of all of us of Health Health passport for to tambour to recover although the losses have been made by the impact of all those limitations on destructions of the countries across the world traveling to spain ok i want to leave it there many thanks marta over in barcelona. The middle east levanon reimposing lockdown measures for 4 days as of saturday coming at least 132 new cases and 8 deaths have been reported in the past 24 hours places of worship nightclubs sporting events and popular markets are closed the lockdown coincides with the muslim festival. So a long term being imposed during a holiday it will be difficult for many in lebanon to accept doctors though say hospitals will quickly be overwhelmed if the spike of infections is not managed properly zain hold the reports now from beirut. The number of daily infections in lebanon is now into 3 digits official say the corona virus has spread across the country there reimposing restrictions less than a months after the country and its only public airport reopened the numbers may be low when compared to other countries but this is a nation of only 6000000 people including a 1000000 refugees where the Health Care System is already in crisis private hospitals have started to turn away patients they make up 85 percent of the Health Sector and they are owed 1300000000. 00 by the government and law that lists the Health Sector is passing through a critical crisis that has been going on for 2 years we are crying for help the Health Sector is taking its last breath 10 days ago our hospital stopped receiving noncritical cases. Staff are also being fired the countrys leading medical facility the American University hospital laid off nearly 900. 00 to use and administrators citing what it called the disastrous state of the economy since november up to 40 percent of lebannon 9000 nurses have lost their jobs what is happening is very serious and if then i fact that they can see they had them in lebanon if we dont have enough nurses there that the number of patients who are currently at the hospital will be much higher burden or us hospitals funded by the public and left underfunded and ill equipped by successive governments for 3 decades are not just at the forefront of the battle against coronavirus what we have seen is with the economic crisis more and more patients cannot afford the private sector anymore and they are heading towards the Public Sector importing equipment and medicine is becoming harder and more expensive because of the sharp devaluation of the local currency and a lack of u. S. Dollars in circulation. The surge in coronavirus cases couldnt have come at a more difficult time levanon is close to bankruptcy because of years of corruption and the Health Sector has long been neglected by successive governments and was collapsing before the pandemic. More than 200 medical staff have now been infected the number of patients hospitalized and admitted to intensive care more than doubled in the last 2 weeks if that rate continues lebanons hospitals once among the best in the middle east will run out of the intensive care beds it needs by mid august.

Alert and standing ready ukrainian soldiers in these trenches a few hansei 15 here before 1st a cease fire and then accusations of violations for the hostilities and more mistrust thats done little to end the 6 year conflict between ukrainian troops and russian backed separatists.

But i cried so much and i suffered so much i would like peace to come but whether it will come only those on top can say ukraines government says if the truce holds it would lead to the implementation of other aspects of the 2015 peace deal brokered by france and germany for now this cautious optimism for of real ceasefire Priyanka Gupta 0.

Pretty important for us to state as a consequence one of the things we we really need to take ways that and monitoring before the fires in the forests the state wasnt very good and what id like to see is much more since one of the dream through the forests of woodlands and other by regions in the continent so weve got more idea of where these are were ecological communities and theyre tracking over time what the effects of different students events are might put us in that position then with the with for the fires in the future to be able to predict when we should go where an engine if its to be most targeted perhaps in the wake of the 4 or the disturbance where recovery teams and Recovery Efforts should be most focused as well so well it really would be a critical listen to learn from this.

Protection to the governors appointed in their region often citing gender or ethnicity some analysts blame it on a lack of transparency in the Selection Process and. The governors repacked based on their political affiliations which gives the impression that the positions are merit based so people who now see this wonder why its based on Political Parties and tribes or a certain clan because it appears as though its a cake and Everyone Wants a piece of it the other thing is that some have little experience in civil posts so getting their states to believe in them may be difficult many challenges lie ahead for sudans new governors but for now they represent the completion of one of the requirements of the crown and the hopes of many for a stable country morgan aljazeera.
